New arc, new girl? She's very... random. Heck, this chapter felt very random after being away from this story for a long while.
"Why is it like I did something wrong?"
He thought the new girl was erotic for a moment, but Eliza wasn't there herself to see it. And it was not like he was openly fantasizing about banging her or anything. Maybe Rail embellished the story a little to troll Kururi...?
Anyway, good to see Eliza again. But I am admittedly a little disappointed at the lack of romantic tension between him and Eliza now even though he's supposed to be gunning for her like he intends to do.
